The bodyguard wants to get on my dragon bed

Chapter 83 Meeting an Old Acquaintance

On the morning of the second day, as expected, some courtiers used the news of the imperial concubine's death to persuade Zhao Chen to recruit new recruits. Zhao Chen didn't refute this time, but just looked at them coldly.This is more effective than words, and they can't see the emperor's true emotions, so they don't dare to hold on to this point.

After the court, Zhao Chen changed into his normal clothes, hesitated before saying, "Xiao Qi, today... Wei Feng is right, I should go to see the queen because of the sudden change in the harem, I should go Talk to her."

Xiao Qi folded the collar for him, knowing that Zhao Chen was worried that he would feel uncomfortable, so he was a little entangled, "Your Majesty will go with you."

"Ah."

Lin Xuanyu lives in the Kanghua Palace, which is very close to Zhao Chen's Qiyang Palace, but even so, Zhao Chen rarely sees her in the palace, and even more rarely sees Zhao Fei.Zhao Chen remembered that the last time they met, it seemed that when he was deliberately playing with Qin Xuanlin, he used Lin Xuanyu as a shield.

It's been almost two years since I saw you.

Standing outside Kanghua Hall, Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment, but decided to go in.Lin Xuanyu is different from Zhang Chuni. Zhao Chen can allow Zhang Chuni to leave the palace, but Lin Xuanyu can't. She still has Zhao Fen to take care of.

"Your Majesty?!" Although Zhao Chen took Zheng Quan with him, he didn't let him pass it on.That's why Lin Xuanyu's personal maid, Qiaohui, saw Zhao Chen completely shocked and yelled out.

Zhao Chen nodded awkwardly and asked, "Where's the queen?"

"Your Majesty is sewing clothes for His Majesty in the inner hall, and your servants are leading the way for His Majesty." After Qiaohui was overwhelmed by the shock, she seemed to have nothing to do with Zhao Chen's arrival. Obviously, Lin Xuanyu didn't think much of it at all. Zhao Chen is here.

After entering the inner hall, I saw a woman sitting on a small platform, carefully holding something and sewing.

She has a different style from Zhang Chuni.No matter how luxurious Zhang Chuni was dressed, she always looked like a delicate boudoir lady, but Lin Xuanyu only wore aqua blue clothes, and she had the grace of a mother.

She was born to be a queen.

It's a pity that I met such an emperor as him.

Zhao Chen couldn't smile anymore, he curled his mouth awkwardly, and just wanted to say hello, Lin Xuanyu said without raising his head, "Sister Chu Ni is gone, what are you doing here?"

"You don't want to be so hostile to me. The imperial concubine died of illness and has nothing to do with me."

"Died of illness? How is it possible?" Lin Xuanyu looked up at Zhao Chen indifferently, "She has always been agile, and her body is much stronger than mine. How could she suddenly die of illness?"

"You have a very good relationship with her." Zhao Chen suddenly understood the source of Lin Xuan's hostility, not because of Zhao Chen's indifference, but because she thought Zhao Chen had given Zhang Chuni to death.

"Yes. So the concubine only asks for one thing. How did sister Chu Ni die?"

Zhao Chen glanced at the palace people all over the palace, and raised his hand to signal them to retreat.Qiaohui glanced at Lin Xuanyu, and followed her out with affirmation.

At this moment, only the two of them were left in the palace, Lin Xuanyu put down the embroidered cloth in his hand, and asked again, "Can Your Majesty tell the truth now?"

"She committed suicide."

"What?!" Lin Xuanyu frowned, "Impossible, this is even more unbelievable than dying of illness."

Such a proud person, apart from being a little too paranoid, how could she choose to end her life in such a way?

"I don't need to lie." Zhao Chen said, "She drugged me, but it didn't work. After I left, she chose to take the poison and kill herself."

Lin Xuanyu's expression gradually turned into shock, she had always known Zhang Chuni's persistence.This kind of attachment is not so much out of love for Zhao Chen, but she feels that Zhang Chuni has no feelings for Zhao Chen, and she just wants to complete the tasks entrusted by the family, to complete the life in her fantasy, to care for her husband and teach her children.

And this paranoia eventually led her down such a wrong path. "Confused." Lin Xuanyu shook his head bitterly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling my concubine the truth."

Zhao Chen said, "Once she died, many things became mysteries. I can only ask you, do you know who she had contact with? How did she get this medicine?"

"Chen Qie doesn't know." Lin Xuanyu said, "Chen Qie and Sister Chu Ni only have a superficial relationship. When she has no one to talk to, she will occasionally come to find Chen Qie. She has a straightforward personality and is very likable. "

"So..." Zhao Chen was a little disappointed.

Lin Xuanyu said again, "Can Your Majesty show that thing to my concubine?"

"What do you remember?"

"Yes," she added, "but I'm not sure yet."

Zhao Chen took out a brocade bag from his arms, which contained the ashes from the incense burner.

Lin Xuanyu took it, stretched out his hand to twist some out, put it under his nose and smelled it.That's how she heard it, and her expression changed immediately.But in the next second, she hid her astonishment again, and just said flatly, "It turned out to be this again."

"Again?" Zhao Chen didn't quite understand.

Lin Xuanyu took a deep breath, as if he was telling a story from a long time ago, "Your Majesty, how did you get this? Is it really just a drunken accident?"

Zhao Chen frowned. It's not like he didn't doubt it. He had almost no impression of that night's experience. Even if he was drunk, he shouldn't have reached such a level. I don't care if I was drugged by Lin Xuanyu.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to look at the concubine like this, it's not the concubine's handwriting." She didn't want to hide her sincerity at all, "Your Majesty also knows that before entering the prince's mansion, the concubine already has her own heart, so why use such a dirty trick?" means to seduce His Majesty."

"The person who administered the medicine twice is the same person?"

"Yes. The concubine once smelled the smell all night, and I definitely can't remember it wrong." Lin Xuanyu said, "This medicine will not work on women, so your majesty completely lost self-awareness that night, but the concubine woke up. on."

Without waiting for Zhao Chen to answer, she immediately said, "Let's not talk about this. Later, the concubine checked secretly, and it is not difficult to find out who is behind this."

"Then why have you never mentioned it to me?"

"When I was young, I always felt ashamed to talk about it, but later on, I just didn't want to worry about it." She touched the embroidered cloth on the table softly with her eyebrows and eyes, "It is a gift from God to have a 璮'er." My luck."

"I want to know who that person is."

"Your Majesty might as well not ask."

"It's okay, just say it."

Lin Xuanyu looked at Zhao Chen, and said word by word, "Guan Si, Master Guan."

"What?! That's impossible." Zhao Chen's head buzzed. Although he usually controlled Zhao Chen a lot, he was still a bit pedantic in his bones. How could he use such dirty things.

"All kinds of investigations point to the prime minister. If your majesty doesn't believe it, just ask him and you'll know."

Zhao Chen stabilized his mind, "Okay, I will ask him to understand."

"One more thing... I also mentioned it to the imperial concubine—"

"The concubine will not leave the palace." Lin Xuanyu interrupted Zhao Chen's words, and said with a light smile, "Your Majesty actually said such a thing. The concubine is the queen and cannot leave. Besides, the concubine is gone. What about Fen'er? The past is over, and now, the concubines only live for Fen'er."

Before Zhao Chen could answer, he heard a crisp but childish voice from outside the hall, "Mother's mother! Mother's queen!"

"Little Highness, you can't go in, the empress is busy now."

"Sister Qiaohui, Fen'er needs to find the queen mother for something, she won't blame Fen'er!"

"Your Highness! Eh?! Your Highness!"

Zhao Fen pushed the door straight and came in, and ran over, trying to throw herself into Lin Xuanhe's arms, but stopped when she saw Zhao Chen.Two children, one big and one small, followed behind him. Seeing the two children coming in, Zhao Fen immediately hid behind the boy and looked at Zhao Chen very defensively.

Even without emotion, blood is thicker than water. Zhao Chen looked at Zhao Fen and couldn't help but be in a daze.He said awkwardly to Lin Xuan, "I'm leaving."

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, haven't seen Fen'er for so long, don't you want to have a word with him?"

Seeing Xiaotuanzi hiding from him, Zhao Chen laughed dryly, "I'm afraid I'll scare him."

"It's nothing." Lin Xuanyu waved at him, "Fin'er, come to the queen mother."

Zhao Fen still stared at Zhao Chen very warily, and slowly moved to Lin Xuanyu's side, and got into her arms.

Only then did Zhao Chen look at the two children following Zhao Fen, a boy and a girl.

The boy couldn't be said to be very good-looking, but there was some shadow between his brows, which didn't look like something he should have at his age. Zhao Chen couldn't tell, he always felt that he had seen this expression somewhere.That girl is even more so. She is a little too thin, but she has big eyes, which is very cute.

Sensing Zhao Chen's gaze, the girl also hid behind the tallest boy among the three children, lowering her head timidly.

Zhao Chen couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, is he so scary.

The only boy who wasn't afraid of him saluted him, "See Your Majesty. I didn't expect to see Your Majesty again."

"? You are..." Zhao Chen was taken aback. Where did they meet?But he really couldn't figure it out.

The boy reminded, "Nanqu, a child who was caught in drug trafficking."

"Oh!" Zhao Chen suddenly thought of that child. He was so ruthless in the hall at the beginning. He let him go and never paid attention to this person again, but how could he get mixed up with Zhao Fen.

"Caomin's name is Aji, and this is Caomin's younger sister, Yuan Yuan." His face turned a little blushing, "Thank you Your Majesty for building the shelter for us. Please forgive me for what happened in the past."

I haven't seen him for half a year. Not only has the child grown taller, but his appearance has also changed a bit.

"Why are you here?"

This time it was not Aji who spoke, but Lin Xuanyu explained the reason for Zhao Chen.

Zhao Fen pestered Qiaohui to take him out of the palace a month ago, Lin Xuanyu felt that he was really bored in the palace, so he agreed, but he didn't expect that Qiaohui and Qiaohui got separated after leaving the palace for no reason.It is precisely because of this that I met Aji's grandfather, so I got acquainted with Aji and Yuanyuan.

After Qiaohui found Zhao Fen, she wanted to thank this grandpa with great gratitude.He knew that he would not live long, and he didn't want any rewards, but entrusted Aji and Yuanyuan to Zhao Fen.

Of course Zhao Fen is willing, it's too late for him to be happy with two more friends of similar age.Qiaohui saw that Zhao Fen was happy, so she agreed, and after returning to the palace, she checked the two people's net worth, so she brought them into the palace to be with Zhao Fen.

Getting along these days, they have become very good friends.

Looking at these three people, Zhao Chen couldn't help but think of him, who also had two close friends by his side.It has to be said that history is always surprisingly similar.

"That's it... that's the case, I hope you can spend good time with Fen'er, even if you are friends, you are also subordinates. Do you understand?" Zhao Chen said to Aji.

"Yes, Aji understands."

"They're not subordinates, don't worry about it!" Zhao Fen poked out half of his head from Lin Xuanyu's arms, and shouted at Zhao Chen.

"I won't care about it." Zhao Chen said.

"Yeah, of course you don't care, after all, you have never cared about our Kanghua Palace!"

"Zhao Fen!" Lin Xuanyu yelled, looking at the child in his arms with some annoyance, he was getting more and more out of shape, he had completely forgotten what she taught him!

"Mother's queen." Zhao Fen called out aggrievedly, "He doesn't come to Kanghua Hall every day, you are the queen! How could he treat you like this."

"This is not something that you, a child, should care about." Lin Xuanyu said, "Be good, don't talk about it."

Zhao Fen pouted, obviously very dissatisfied.Zhao Chen sighed, walked up to Lin Xuanyu, knelt down, looked at the boy who turned his head and didn't want to look at him, Zhao Chen said, "I'm sorry for your mother, but many things are not as simple as you think. "

"Fen'er, I also have someone I love deeply, but that person is not your mother." Zhao Chen said softly, "I and the queen are both victims of politics. So I don't want you to be like this. In the future, you must Find someone you like to marry, don't let others down."

Zhao Fen didn't understand what he said, but he could only understand Zhao Chen's words that the person I like is not your mother. He wrinkled his face and pushed Zhao Chen, "Go away! Go away! I don't want to see You, the queen mother, don't want it either!"

"Okay, I'm leaving." Zhao Chen stood up, "Take care of yourself and don't let others worry about you."

Zhao Chen turned and left the inner hall.

In the hall, Lin Xuanhe hugged Zhao Fen to calm down her mood. She didn't know how to tell Zhao Fen about her relationship with Zhao Chen. Everything between them was accidental, and even Zhao Fen was the product of calculations.

Even if Zhao Chen doesn't like her, she won't be sad at all, but she also doesn't know how to explain the strange relationship between his parents to Zhao Fen.I'm afraid I can only wait for him to grow up a bit, knowing the helplessness of the emperor's family, maybe he can understand Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen walked out of the Kanghua Hall, and said to Zheng Quan in a cold voice, "Go and invite Guan Si to enter the palace."
